Late last year, Ruffian Games asked for your input to the streets of Crackdown 2. Apparently they decided that a graffiti competition would be a bit of a “fun lark”, helping to ward off some winter boredom. However – some 500 artistic entries later, they realised that people took it all a bit seriously.

After a significant delay, the dev team have revealed the winning designs: 42 images from 30 artists, all of which have something special which makes them perfect for Pacific City.

(Apparently, when you give a call-out for artistic projects, there’s a good number of legal hoops to jump through if you want to use that art yourself.)

Our fearless art team are working right now to include the winning entries into the game. Most will appear as part of a number of graffiti montages , they’ll still be individually recognisable but will along side some of the other competition winners. A few select pics will appear singularly in Pacific City. We’ll post some screens as soon as we can 😀

If you want to check out all of the winners, they’re over on the Ruffian forums, but we’ve picked out a few of playerattack‘s favourites for you right here, including Craig Paton‘s agent-inspired piece at the top there:

Nita McCabe, Shetland, Dayna

irony, Fabian Suarez, Enrique Rodriguez Jr.

It’s been a great ride and something we will definitely do again in future products. Thank you very much for the excellent response 😀
